How We Became an Expat Family

What I Enjoy Most and Least About Where I Live

How much help should parents give their kids with homework?

There should be a balance, like all things in life. I would say that allowing your child to try and work things out but having them know you are there for "backup" or support is the way to go. You cannot solve their problems in life, but you can always give them an ear to listen, a firm foundation to grow, and a shoulder to lean on. :)

What's your family's favorite recipe for chicken or tofu?

To be completely honest, it's a good old back to basics, succulent, tried and tested recipe called......."Roast chicken"!!! Seriously, my family absolutely craves the simplicity and nourishment that a good old roast chick provides!!! It is wholesome, delicious, and evokes memories of togetherness and ritual. And now you've made me hungry.....so I'm off to hunt a bird!!!

Why is the stay-at-home vs. working moms debate so passionate?

We are at a point in humanity where we are coming back into balance. Balance of Mother Earth, of ourselves and of the roles we play on this great life we live! We all make choices, and sometimes it is 'we' who are not comfortable with the choice we have made deep within ourselves, but sometimes make decisions based on what we think is right. When we feel uncomfortable about our own choices, it then becomes easy to judge others and form 2 camps. We are right, and you are wrong. Each of us has a choice, and how we support that choice is up to us, but we really need to realize that it is our choice and our choice alone that is all that matters. We need to step up and support each other in how we see our roles in the world. Peace, love, and light lovely ladies!!! X
